WHY DO ZAMBRERO PARTNER WITH RISE AGAINST HUNGER?

Zambrero firmly believes in partnering with organizations with a shared belief that all people in this world should receive adequate nutrition and education.

Specifically, Zambrero partner with Rise Against Hunger due to their commitment to distribute Plate 4 Plate donated meals to support school feeding programs within poverty-stricken communities.

Like Rise Against Hunger, Zambrero is passionate about breaking the poverty cycle, where receiving an education is typically the first step. The promise of a nutritious, hot meal provides parents a clear incentive to send their children to school each day and enables children to not only be well nourished, but to learn and develop key skills that they would otherwise miss out on if otherwise in search of food.
